The tricks to make transcode compile appear to have changed since a year or two ago.
I'm trying to compile CVS 1.1 branch I can't figure out the exact options needed; below is my guesswork, which, apparently doesn't work (i've tried various version) My *.pc files from ffmpeg are in /usr/local/bin/pkgconfig; my $PATH has /usr/local, etcetera, and $PKG_CONFIG_PATH includes the 'local' path as well. I am giving configure the following: --with-libavcodec-prefix=/usr/local --with-libavcodec-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libavcodec-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-libavcodec-includes=/usr/local/include/libavcodec --with-libavformat-prefix=/usr/local --with-libavformat-includes=/usr/local/include/libavformat --with-libavformat-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-libavformat-includes=/usr/local/include Still, configure gives me: ERROR: requirement failed: cannot compile ffmpeg/avformat.h ffmpeg/avformat.h can be found in the following packages: libavformat http://www.ffmpeg.org/ ERROR: requirement failed: cannot link against libavformat libavformat can be found in the following packages: libavformat http://www.ffmpeg.org/ please help thanks andrew
